The gist of this section is that men are one long breeding experiment run by women. Women look for men to gain access to resources. Buss explains this because sex-role socialization of women throughout history.
In primitive culture, men with the most land attract the most wives.
Globally, women usually marry men who are a bit older than they are. Men display cars, houses, gifts, and expensive dinners to attract women.

Women don’t like stinginess. This signals that the man is unlikely to devote an immediate supply of resources.
